Big cats, gorillas and lemurs at Twycross Zoo have had an early delivery from Santa Claws.

The animals received some tasty parcels to get them into the festive spirit as part of their daily enrichment activities.

Some of their favourite foods were wrapped up and disguised as Christmas presents to provide them with stimulating challenges, such as having to find their food.

Twycross Zoo’s six-month-old critically endangered Amur leopard cubs have been investigating Christmas dinner inspired parcels of wrapped-up chicken, while the zoo’s group of western lowland gorillas have been getting to grips with boxes containing nuts and seeds.
